The contribution aims to present the unpublished data collected during a preventive archaeology excavation carried out in Nola-via Feudo, a suburban area S of the ancient city. The investigation shed light on a succession of dirt roads, dated from late republic to the end of the 5th century A.D., lined with graves. In the most recent phase, sealed by the so-called eruption of Pollena (472 A.D.), the beaten track was flanked by a ploughed field, covering partially the necropolis area along the street. The necropolis, partially violated in modern times, consisted of twenty-one burials with inhumation ‘alla cappuccina’, enchytrismós and in earthen pits. The preliminary study presented here increases our knowledge of the ager Nolanus to Late Antiquity, in the wake of the studies carried out in last decades.
